TD Classic
by Ardent Cougar
 


Are you ready for some football!!


Josh Calfee makes it 6-0 over Franklin County,
in PC's first matchup of the day, and...


John Hedge adds the PAT.
The ball can be seen in the upper right hand corner.


Jeremy Porter (No. 4) signals TD, as Calfee (top left)
goes in for another score. PC 14-0.


Keep an eye on Matt Roan this season.
Here, he makes a nice catch of a good throw from Alan Wheeling.
Matt will make noise on both sides of the ball, this year.
I have already heard him compared to Jeff King.


Greg Cobbs took the Criss Cross in for a score,
and the Cougars were totally dominating the Eagles,
21-0.


The punt rush got great pressure, and
Lucas Nester timed it perfectly, getting the block...


... and scooping it up, as well.
When he was finally tackled, PC was
scant yards away from making it 28-0,
which Porter's TD run soon did.
 The final was Cougars 28, Eagles 6.


Wheeling looks for a receiver against Fauquier,
PC's second opponent.


Calfee leaves defenders in his wake,
toughing his way towards the goal line.


A minute later, Josh capped off the drive...


... with a short TD run.
The Cougars 'trained' the Falcons,
pitching a 19-0 shutout.

To end the Classic, PC took on the tough
Varina Blue Devils.
It was a rain-plagued, defensive struggle,
remining scoreless until very late.


Wheeling keeps, getting key yardage on the final drive.


Sandwiched between the two fans signaling TD,
Calfee crosses the goal line
with under 2 minutes to go.


For the second week in a row,
Wheeling seals the victory,
this time with an interception,
making the final score 7-0.

The Cougar defense was not scored upon
in 6 quarters of Classic play.
PC thus ended the 'preseason' with a
4-0 record.
Last week's tough opponent, Graham,
opened the 2001 season by
destroying Bluefield 56-8 Friday night.
